AVO classification using neural networks: A comparison of two
methods

Brian H. Russell, Laurence R. Lines, and Christopher P. Ross

ABSTRACT

In a previous paper (Russell et. al., 2002), the authors applied the
multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network to the solution of a
straightforward AVO classification problem. In this paper, we will
summarize the earlier work, and then show how the problem can be
solved in an alternate fashion by using the radial basis function
neural network (RBFN). By using an AVO model as our input, we are able
to gain greater insight into the inner workings of neural networks.
